I appreciate that also!!!

Still waiting on an answer (not copy n paste) to what to do with my truck??? Run 80 front and 65 rear ALL the time because mine shows no other options???

A little common sense goes along ways or at least it should.

The vehicle manufacturer has no options below vehicle certified GAWRs.

I actually worked for the USN for 41 years, 31 active duty and 10 as a civilian, all aviation related.

So I take it YOU would simply leave the inflation at 65 rear unloaded and have a horrible ride less traction and uneven tread wear???

As mentioned I do appreciate your service. BUT....there has to room in your mind for some common sense.

I always kept my dually tires at factory recommendations. They didn't wear out early.

Nobody would respect my postings if I got wishy-washy with them. Maybe you can find someone else to ask about borderline procedures.

There is really no common excuse to "air down" tires for a better ride. The vehicle manufacturer has set their recommendations appropriately. To air them down is to subtract from the safety margin provided with the vehicle manufacturers recommendations mandated by NHTSA.

I guess GY Tech is not a credible place to get info from. They said "when trying to obtain a better ride, better stopping and even tread wear use the weight/inflation charts".

I guess we can let everyone decide what's is best for them.

I have always said inflation pressures between recommended and sidewall max are optional. GY is not going to recommend anything less for OE tires.

They sure did. They said BOTH so they were covering the stated but said that it's perfectly fine to use the charts.
